Garden is finished

I finished Elizabeth's Designs A Colonial Garden. It was given to us at a retreat in March 2010. I only did the gate and a little bit of the wall, while there. I pulled this back out last week and finished it this afternoon. It is done on 30 ct weeks linen. I didn't care for this linen but then again I am not a big fan of linen.

3/19/10-2/15/12

Last night Justin picked a paper, #8 was written on it for my next WIP/UFO to finish. It happens to be HAED SK Sunny. I put in a few stitches on it today. It was a SAL in 2010 with the HAED BB. So this will be my main project til it is done. I do like the colors in it.
This is page 1 of 3

Justin and I went to the movies tonight, We saw Chronicle. I rate it a 3/5. I liked the storyline. The acting was fine and the special effects were great but it dragged quite a bit and the main character walked around with a camera on everyone so it was like the Blair Witch Project.

Well time for bed. I am sleepy. Thank you to all who read my blog and leave comments.

Spooky, Garden and exchange

yesterday I watched quite a few of my DVRd TV shows. I stitched quite a bit on LK Halloween Rules.
 I finished the chart Brew Some Fun and started the Ghost chart
This is the picture of the whole thing so far.

Tonight I pulled out A Colonial Garden
If I don't finish it tomorrow night then it should be done Thursday night. This I will frame and give to my SIL.
Tonight I watched:
Live With Kelly! - getting bored with the show. She is inot The Bachelor and does the night befores dialogue. She is into Jersey Shore , which I find disturbing. I guess I will have to see who she gets as her regular cohost.

Some of General Hospital
House
Hart of Dixie

Last night I finished reading The Edge by Catherin Coulter and this morning I started Riptide by Catherine Coulter.

I almost forgot to post a pic of my Valentine Exchange. This is through my stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I loved it all. Thank you so much Linda J.


Thanks for visiting and the comments. I appreciate them all.

bracelets and a WIP

I have promised some friends to post my bracelets.
This first one is the bracelet that my sister gave me for Christmas. I had to fix it as the charms were falling off and every time i put it on and off all the beads would fall off. So one bead night at Michaels and the instructor showed me what I needed to fix it. I love this bracelet.

This past Friday night was another bead night at Michaels and I made me a Valentines bracelet.
I love jewelry and especially bracelets and this has been so much fun.

Yesterday morning Scott took me to get groceries, as still without a car. Then got ready to get our taxes done.
I am able to go to Myrtle Beach this year for Pals Fall Fling. I have missed the past 2 years and you have no idea how much I have missed it.

I stitched all night on Elizabeth Designs A Colonial Garden. I am hoping to finish it this week.


I also read a few more pages of The Edge by Catherine Coulter. I am almost done reading it.

Thanks for visiting and all the comments.

It's a frog night

I want to know which one of you sent that darned frog my way? That wasn't very nice at all. Actually I have never ever done what I did tonight. The letters of A Colonial Garden is what I had to frog. I am a little tired so I will blame that for my mistake. I actually backstitched the words on the wrong side of the project. Ok, I know it's funny but really, did you have to snort to? Well despite that, I still did pretty well tonight.
 So the bushes are done and the sunflower, along with the words. Since there is backstitching and specialty stitches it seems to be stitching up quick.

Last night I went to the movies with Justin (DS#1). We saw One For The Money. I liked it and my son thought it was hilarious. I have read all the books and he hasn't read any. I didn't care for Debbie Reynolds as the Grandma. Morrelli didn't look Italian and Ranger was really nice looking but his body type was wrong. He also spoke more in that movie than I think he did in all the books. He never had much to say and always called Stephanie "Babe". The acting was great! So Justin and I have decided to go to the movies every Wednesday. It is 1 night he week he doesn't have to work and I miss going to the movies. We have a list of what we want to see.

Today I read a little bit more of the book I am reading. The Edge by Catherine Coulter. Love it!

Tonight's TV:
The Vampire Diaries
Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice

Tomorrow night I am going to bead night at Michael's. I know I will have fun.

Night everyone and thanks for all the comments.

Colonial Garden

I had Justin pick a number for the next UFO to stitch on. Elizabeth's Designs A Colonial Garden was picked.
So tonight I pulled it out and worked on it.
I started this in March 2010 at a retreat in Syracuse, NY. All I had done was the gate and some of the right wall. Tonight I finished that side of the wall, stitched the left side and the branches. There is quite a few specialty stitches in this so I am hoping that will make this go quicker.

Tonight I watched:
Live with Kelly!
General Hospital - what is going on with Kate?
Ringer

I also started a new book last night, The Edge by Catherin Coulter. Another one of the FBI series. It is really good so far.
